I saw someone promoting Alora on IG, and thought it was worth trying.
It is located at the former location of Kau Ba down Montrose/Westheimer area.
I got the Mojito mocktail, luckily, it's not super sweet like most places you get a mocktail.
I'd ask for the bartender special mocktail, and they did something with chili and lime juice. Pretty good for a hot day.
Got the Crispy Spring Roll - the sauce is like a kind of taro sauce.
This dish I loved, Patatas Bravas - the potato is crispy enough, and the sauce is rocoto aioli flavor - so addictive, so good.
This is the La Bajada Trio - it's a good Happy Hour dish. They made their own goldfish, roasted their own nuts. The BBQ rice chips were so good, dish that they just have that as a dish. Then you got some green mango and chili sauce.
Had the Chaufu fried rice. I've had some Peruvian fried rice before, but it was not as flavorful as I'd preferred.
The cuisine is a cross between Peru & Vietnam, and I will say some dishes were out of the park. Some it was meh, since we're lucky enough to be in a town that diversity of food is so easily accessible. Also, while they do ask for reservations, we went on a Thursday and it was not crowded at all. The place is not big, there's plenty of outdoor seatings. But they were no busy.
The parking in the area is tight. There's no valet for the place. But plenty street parking, just be courteous to the neighbors.
